How Many Days Old Are You??

I did some scrapping last night and REALLY enjoyed it! These are We R Memory Keepers Papers in the 'Heart Attack' range...I fell in love with them when I saw them...love how bright they are!

I have seen layouts before where the title is a large number, so I thought I would give it a go.

If you would like to know how many days old you are go to THIS SITE.

On Ashlee's layout I included some of the song we wrote together last month and on Tay's is the bible verse where it is found (1 Timothy 4:12) Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an examples in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

Women of Purpose Craft Group

If you are in the Narrogin area and would like some casual scrapbooking/craft time with other ladies, our craft group meets every second Monday from 10.15am - 1pm at Narrogin Christian Centre. Click on the flier for dates.

We also are running Saturday night workshops once a month. Our first class is just in time for Mother's Day and we will be making a Journal Jar. This is a decorated journal and jar full of journaling prompts to help you record your life as a keepsake to hand to your children. You could also make it for your mother or father to fill out so you have their history recorded. The concept is you pull out a journaling prompt and glue it to the top of your page and then write what the question asks...for example... 'What is your favourite childhood holiday?' or 'What characteristics and personatily traits did you inherit from your father and mother?'. There are about 100 prompts that get curled into scrolls and placed in the jar. Tis will make a fabulous Mother's Day gift.

For Monthly craft activities and dates click on the below flier.

These classes require bookings. Please either call Amy on 9881 5745 or Gayle on 9881 4126

Yesterday at craft group I was able to complete 3 layouts. I was so keen to scrap after the retreat so just left my stash in the boot for craft group and scrapped my little heart out.

I love this Bible verse (The Message Translation)

Finally got around to scrapping my 30th birthday photos.

Night with my Sister-in-Law

Both our hubbies were away so Mick and I had a scrap night last night and I stayed the night so I didn't have to drive home:)
I was able to do 4 layouts which I am wrapped with.
These first 2 were from a TLC kit I was given at the Scrap of Faith retreat.





The journaling in this Princess layout is from the 'His Princess' book we all received at the retreat. I am just loving it and will probably make some more layouts using the letters in it which are love letters form God to us written around Bible verses.


A layout about Angus at 7 weeks old, the day after we picked him up from Perth.

and this is a Cirlce Journal entry for Nat's CJ...her theme is 'Defining Moments'.

Retreat Layouts

I had the most fabulous of weekends last weekend at the Wave Rock Retreat! I think there was over 40 ladies that attended and we all had a great time doing what we love to do best...create!
The classes were all great and I had great feedback about my classes. There were ladies going back and doing their 2nd, 3rd, and 4th layouts using my class designs so thats always a good sign ;)
I was able to do some layouts too while I wasn't teaching...here they are...
This double layout was from Lis Cassey's class...

Psalm 139

I love this psalm...what a beautiful love letter from the Father to me.


Psalm 139: 1-18 "Lord, you have seen what is in my heart. You know all about me. You know when I sit down and when I get up. You know what I'm thinking even though you are far away. You know when I go out to work and when I come back home. You know exactly how I live. Lord, even before I speak a word, you know all about it. You are all around me. You are behind me and in front of me. You hold me in your power. I'm amazed at how well you know me. It's more than I can understand. How can I get away from your Spirit? Where can I go to escape from you? If I go up to the heavens, you are there. If I lie down in the deepest parts of the earth, you are also there. Suppose I were to rise with the sun in the east and then cross over to the west where it sinks into the ocean. Your hand would always be there to guide me. Your right hand would still be holding me close. Suppose I were to say, "I'm sure the darkness will hide me. The light around me will become as dark as night." Even that darkness would not be dark to you. The night would shine like the day, because darkness is like light to you. You created the deepest parts of my being. You put me together inside my mother's body. How you made me is amazing and wonderful. I praise you for that. What you have done is wonderful. I know that very well. None of my bones was hidden from you when you made me inside my mother's body. That place was as dark as the deepest parts of the earth. When you were putting me together there, your eyes saw my body even before it was formed. You planned how many days I would live. You wrote down the number of them in your book before I had lived through even one of them. God, your thoughts about me are priceless. No one can possibly add them all up. If I could count them, they would be more than the grains of sand. If I were to fall asleep counting and then wake up, you would still be there with me. 23-24 God, see what is in my heart. Know what is there. Put me to the test. Know what I'm thinking. See if there's anything in my life you don't like. Help me live in the way that is always right. "


Here is a layout I made with this verse written on it.

This kit is the new shabbyprincess freebie 'Spontaneous Delight'...it's very yummy! My layout was a scraplift of Vanessa's layout HERE.

Photoshoot...about time!

I finally took the girls on a photo shoot on the weekend...its only been about a year!! Bad me!
So now I will have heaps of new photos to scrap..YAY!
Here is a layout I just made using Willro&Co Designs part of a collab kit 'SorbetDream' over at Divine Digital....I will put a link up to it when it is released.

Digital Scrapbooking

On Thursday I bought a new printer ...YAY!!! Its a Canon MP610 and prints photos beautifully.

I have been printing off all my digital scrapbooking layouts in 8x8 inch and have a lovely AMM album to put them into. I have discovered that I hadn't saved about 6 of them in a large format so I can't print them, so I am re doing some of them that I don't want to lose.

One of them was one I made last year that I love. It's called 'Lord, Heal our Land'...it took me ages to find all the photos again and while searching I was deeply affected by some photos I saw on Google Images...especially when I googled 'famine'. We are so blessed to live this life here in Australia.

Here's my layout if you didn't see it the first time.

Be a Light in Me

Today I was inspired by THIS layout today to try and figure out how to take the background out of a photo...so with lots of playing around I did it!

This layout is for the 'Verse' challenge at Scrap of Faith "Let your Light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in Heaven"



Using Willro&co Designs 'Bright and Funky', 'Office' and 'Hot Summer' kits.
Also used Krystal Hartley's 'Let your Light Shine' Word Art.
